<p>Eight "National Championship" titles! Best ever to my knowledge. BTW, below, I posted a link to that picture just after you posted the picture itself. I didn't see yours. If anything, Schoenfield being a few years older, Mac had a Schoenfield look to his hair. As I mentioned in my post, he already looks a little bit gone in this pic.

<p>I doubt there's any video. Here's a pic of him from 1980. Scroll to the bottom. He would have been about 23. He looks a little gone already at this point.</p>

<p>PS: At the very bottom is a cut out from what looks like a newspaper picture upside down with the caption: "Howard Schoenfield is soooo effortlessly smooth and implacable that when he fires blazing shots from either side it's as shockingly unexpected as Robert Merrill singing Jailhouse Rock." </p>

<p>Ok, sorry I was skimming and didn't see the survey. Yeah, the whole story is pretty sad. Eight junior titles is remarkable.

<p>Schoenfield was diagnosed paranoid-schizophrenic. It was not a matter of burnout. His pro career never had a chance. Did you read the Knight-Ridder newspaper article?</p>

<p>Here's a KnightRidder/Tribune newspaper article on Howard Schoenfield from 1996 entitled: "He was as good as McEnroe, but it didn't help him beat mental illness, drug use." (You have to answer some survey questions to see the full article).</p>

<p>Here's an excerpt from the article:</p>
<p>"Schoenfield lives in what used to be a bed and breakfast in Hialeah. Now it is a halfway house offering supervised living for adults with mental problems. The building has a bright coat of orange paint and an equally optimistic name: Happy Home.</p>
<div style="z-index: 2147483646; width: 600px; display: none;" class="t402-inline-block"></div>
<p>"Doctors have diagnosed Schoenfield as a type one paranoid schizophrenic. ``The most severe kind,'' says Happy Home manager Marco Guim. ``He hears voices. He's delusional. He's paranoid.''</p>

<p>Howard Schoenfield! Possibly the greatest player off all time that never happened. If he hadn't had the family/psychiatric/drug problems that he had, Connors, Borg and McEnroe may have won fewer majors than they did win. I have no idea where he is now.</p>

<p>Cheaper than a house without wheels! No, the park itself is not cheap - a slumlord can make a good living running one of those places. But the trailers? Those are cheap.</p>
